This GIF of a Dog Swimming Underwater Is the Most Important Thing on the Internet

I woke up at 6:15 this morning to my cat Rorschach rudely pushing a bottle of my perfume onto the floor in order to get my attention. (He’s kind of a dick.) My other cat, Dorito, appears to have a cold, so I arrived at work both sleep-deprived and a little anxious. It was shaping up to be a smile-free day when my best friend Rosemary Donahue, who also happens to be Allure‘s weekend editor, sent me a link to the following Instagram post:

Did you think this was a new breed of jellyfish that exclusively feeds on Tresemmé (🎵Tresemmé, ooh lala🎵)? Or perhaps a human being with remarkably long, well-conditioned hair? I did, too. We all did. But it is not, in fact, a human being nor a mermaid nor a hairy jellyfish. It is a dog, probably an Afghan Hound, and it is what led half our team to cackle aloud in the office this afternoon. Good gracious, we all really needed a completely good-natured, authentic laugh. I highly recommend you send it along to your coworkers, as well. They probably need it, too.

OK, back to the rest of the news cycle, which is currently completely and utterly ridiculous, and will likely remain as such for the rest of 2017.
